“Investigation revealed that Abdullahi, together with his accomplices, including Yusuf, Sabo, Umaru and Shu’aibu, had been stealing cows between Kiyawa LGA, Jigawa; and Azare town, Bauchi State.
“He confessed to have stolen five cows at various places and with the assistance of Yusuf Alhaji Jubril (driver). The cows were transported to Kano to one Alhaji Mustapha (at large) at Dorawar Na’abba who got them disposed of and then shared the booty accordingly.
“In fact, it is Alhaji Mustapha that owns the vehicle that is being used by Yusuf for such purposes.”
